QUESTION:

SALAMU ALAIKUM, 

I AM OF TAQLID OF AYATULLAH ALI ALSEESTANI (may Allah lenghthen his
life)

Regarding praying on the turba, i know it is mustahab to pray on it .
But I pray in the university prayer room and most of the praying people 
are the sunni brothers.  I have the feeling that they might me one day 
question me regarding my praying on the turba .

Could you give me an answer logic enough for them to consider and know
why we Shia's pray on it .

khuda hafiz.
